Speaking of discoveries, I was watching the news the other day at lunch and they were talking about how scientists have discovered a way to reverse the aging process in lab rats. Basically these lab rats would be equal to a human who's around 80 or 90 years old, and when they had preformed the test on them, the rats actually started being able to reproduce again, started growing new fur/hair, etc...

They are hoping this could one day led to possibly a cure or to reverse the effects of Alzheimer in humans and of course reverse the aging process in general.

I know that wasn't exactly what this thread is about, but it got me thinking about that with this discovery. Imagine what this discovery and the one I was talking about could mean for people in the future!

Yeah I read about that. Could be a big step towards solving the cancer puzzle too.

Crazy to think where modern medicine could be in the next 50 years.

While it's sad to know that a lot of us have lost close friends and family in our lives due to diseases such as Cancer or Alzheimer, it's hopeful to know that there is a possibility of coming up with a cure.

The way I see it, people way back in the stone age died because of the common cold and the flu. Nowadays, we think nothing of them. I could see this possibly being true for nastier diseases down the road.
